Hey guys! So I haven't made a post in a while as I have been too distracted with college, friends and most importantly, Christmas!! We only have one more day and I'm so excited! Anyway, I thought I'd make a short post about a small purchase I made today.

Thursday, 27 November 2014

Hey guys! I haven't bought makeup in a while as I've been trying to save recently, but I thought I'd treat myself and go on a small Boots haul, courtesy of my mothers credit card (I had been told that I need to buy something for myself instead of saving for presents for people for Christmas but I just couldn't take the guilt!). I'm just going to tell you guys what little picks I bought and should review a couple soon.

Hey beauties! So yes, I have finally given into the temptation of buying this product after months of it being on my wishlist. I'm the sort of person to have tons of beauty products written down to buy but then I go out and see other products and buy those instead... Does anyone else do this? After all the hype this concealer got, I knew it would be a good one to add to my collection so I went and bought it! Guess what, I was not disappointed! When the beauty world hype, they know what they're talking about. So I've had this product for about a month now (pictures taken less than a week after purchase and use), I thought I would use it for some time so I could give a true opinion and proper review.

Hello spooky cuties! So Halloween has come and gone and we're all left with our few pieces of candy and a scrawled up costume. I thought it would be nice to show you all what I decided to put on my face for this occasion. Now, I had three different places to go over the Halloween weekend so I had three different costumes to prepare which was the most fun thing to do because I love Halloween so much!

Peppermint skies has been MIA for over three weeks! What?! These are the times when I have a think about whether I should just live my life writing in my blog instead of getting a proper college education. Hm... It seems every time I get the urge to write a post, I force myself to believe that I want to do homework, which includes lots and lots of essays... But I'm back and I will TRY to keep updated, because it's killing me not being able to post!

Don't you just love starting from scratch and having 0 followers? My previous bloglovin' account doesn't seem to be working anymore and so I needed to claim it again! It wasn't showing any of my followers when I posted anything new. So follow my new Bloglovin' to get any new post updates from me!

Hello my girls! So lemme start by saying well done Soap & Glory, you've done it again. You've pushed me into buying this little beauty of a brow pencil for £10! Bit expensive I thought at first, until I began using it... I bet you guys can already tell what kind of review this is going to be, so I will TRY to not go completely crazy and force you all to buy this. HG HG HG HG!!! Okay. No more crazy.

So for those of you who don't know, I have left high school and have just started college! There was a last minute change of plan as to which college I was going to but it was a good change. So today was my first day and I thought I'd share with you all what I wore on my face and my body!

Hello my lovelies, guess what?! August has ended! We've recieved our results and high school is finally over for me, hooray! So you know what this means, it's August favourite time! I know you've all just been so excited to see my terrible quality photos containing awesome little makeup bits! I need a camera so badly... So lemme get started!

Hello my lovelies! So the time has finally come for me to meet up with some other South East bloggers! Yay! I have been wanting to do this for a while but had no idea of how to be able to attend a meet! Luckily for me, my friend, or as she calls me "A blogger that lives near me" (thanks Livs) was already planning on going to a meetup on the 23/08/2014! For me this was amazing! I was so excited to meet so many more people who had the same interests as me and be able to find more blogs to follow and read through! In the back of my mind I was worrying that they would be mean or I wouldn't have enough knowledge about makeup to talk to them especially as I haven't had my blog for long! But wow, they were all so amazing! They were friendly and made me feel comfortable and made me feel like I'd known them for years! I honestly love them all so much *cringe*! This has been the best day I've had in a long time so I'm gonna talk you guys through it!

So I keep putting this off, I have no idea why, but it's gotten to a point in which I'm going to end up writing a July favourites in December! I have been trying out a few new things in July and I know there has been hype about a some of them, I have just been very late on the bandwagon for a few.

Picture taken from someone elses 101 things blog post! Credit to her, this is not my own image. (Find her post HERE)

Hey guyss! Okay so I've seen a few other bloggers do this and it looks like an amazing idea! One blogger (Curls and Comets) said she's achieved a lot from doing this list. This has persuaded me to try and complete 101 things in 1001 days. Tricky... My goals in life might change over these days and I might stop writing in this blog (I hope not!), I might even steer away from all things beauty!! Nah, that'll never happen! So without further ado, let me present my list of 101 things to do in 1001 days!

Start date - August 4th 2014

End date - May 1st 2017

23/101

1. Write a blog post AT LEAST twice a month, five months in a row. (1/5)

Summer's finally here (or what people call summer in England which is actually cold and rain with a smidge of sun) and it's time to start soaking up those few sun rays before it gets cold again. I can hear that high school musical clock ticking!! I have to say, because I've just finished my last year, I've already been off for two months just as most people are starting their six weeks! Now for most people that sounds like a dream, but even though I'm probably the laziest person going, I hate to be stuck inside all day! I would love to go out and do something everyday but just don't have the energy to walk anywhere...

Now at the beginning of our holidays things were great, I was out almost every day in the sun and with my friends! But now that's died down and we've run out of stuff to do... So now as I'm writing this blog I am sitting at a table in a furniture shop, trying to get my thrills out of serving customers and cleaning cabinets. How fun.

Hey guys! So when I said I bought loads of nail varnishes yesterday, it was my mother who took me to get them and I was reading all of the colour names out to her in excitement! Bearing in mind she's not really into makeup or on the nail varnish route... So I get in the car after my terrifying English exam today only to find that my gorgeous mum has gone out to boots to get me 4 more of these nail varnishes! How amazing is she?! So yeah just going to show you the new colours she bought me!

The first is 'Blackberry' GNP 2. It is a navy blue that is a deeper blue than the 'Blue Grape' GNP 17.

Speaking of 'Blue Grape' GNP 17! Bless her, she tried to buy some of the colours I hadn't already bought from memory but accidentally bought me this colour! LUCKILY I was aiming to get this colour again because I love it so much so yeah! Lucky guess:3

Hello my beautifuls!
I'm so sorry I haven't posted in ages! I will try and remember to keep up to date!
Okay so I admit... Myself along with many other teenage girls have developed an obsession with the 'Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint' by Barry M. I admit it, as with all beauty products that look this great I was skeptical! I'm sorry! I love them so much oh my gosh! So I thought to myself, why buy one at a time? Why not buy 16? Yeah, exactly... So that's what I did! Today I went out and bought all of the colours that stood out to me the most (and that I had the money for). I am definitely going to go back and buy the rest of the collection! In my opinion they are not a thick varnish as at least two coats are needed to really bring out the colour. But they come in an amazing range of colour which I love! They are bright, colourful and look amazing! They are also extremely cheap compared to most nail varnishes, even drug store ones at only £3.99 a bottle. They come in bottles of 10ml which is enough to last you ages!

A while ago, Revlon brought out a lip tint in the shape of a chubby crayon. This was the 'Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain' that took the beauty world by storm. I only have one of these but I can say that it is quite sheer and sticky although it does last a while. Whereas these new balms are matte as it says in the name so they aren't sticky and they are also a balm! This means it has all the benefits of a long wearing lipstick with the added benefits of moisturizing and easy application with the chubby stick shape.

The product comes in a plastic casing with a silver base to turn for more product. It leaves a buttery feel on your lips and doesn't feel thick or cakey. They all have a light peppermint smell and as I don't usually like scented lipsticks, I was quite skeptic. But seeing as though everyone in the USA had been raving about these I thought I might as well give them a try. Luckily the scent is very subtle and if it hadn't been pointed out to me I honestly wouldn't have noticed! The peppermint in the lipstick formula gives a slight plump to the lips as with all lip products that contain this. Unfortunately, I only have 3 shades, though I will be buying more! They are all quite similar in colour. I own the shades 205 - Elusive, 240 - Striking and 250 - Standout.
